Snax claims one of CS:GO’s biggest records from JW right on the eve of CS2

Nobody will likely surpass them.

CS:GO is slowly coming to an end with the release of Counter-Strike 2 imminent. But this hasn’t stopped pro players from reaching new milestones, with veteran Snax snatching a record over the weekend.

The Polish player has now overtaken JW’s record of overall kills in CS:GO history. Snax now has 43,531 kills, with the Swede holding onto second place with 43,474 kills, according to HLTV.

It’s likely Snax will stay at the top until the esports scene transitions to CS2. He’s still an active player, currently competing under Pompa Team’s banner. The team won the PGE Polish Esport League Supercup on Sunday, Aug. 27.

This doesn’t take anything away from JW, though. The Swedish legend has been an active CS:GO pro since 2012 and most notably won three Major championships under the Fnatic banner between 2012 and 2015. It’s likely that JW will still add kills to his count and finish at the very least in the top two as EYEBALLERS plays in all sorts of online cups.

Unless something truly extraordinary happens, all that is left for other pros is trying to be CS2‘s best fragger. The new game was officially announced on March 23 and is set to launch this summer. But, so far, no further details have been revealed from developer Valve.

Leakers, however, found information that suggests the game will come out on or before Sept. 23. It’s best to take this information with a grain of salt, but we’re tired of waiting and quietly keeping our fingers crossed that it’s true.

Correction Aug. 29 1:23pm CT: A previous version of this article incorrectly said JW retired on Aug. 15. Flusha was the one who retired on that day. We regret this error.
